Chris Sherry crafts some beautiful sparkling wines for Elentone.

Elentone

December 10, 2023

Today we explore a really electric sparkling wine house, Elentone, that is the brainchild of winemaker Chris Sherry. Sherry hails from Brighton in southern England, which is somewhat of a stone’s throw from England’s premier sparkling wine country. Sherry is an avid Brighton football supporter and shares the same passion for sparkling wines.

All of his wines are made in the traditional Champagne method and are given a limited dosage. I am really thrilled with the wines from Sherry that I have tasted in the past year. I have little doubt that they are going to get better and better. The 2019 Elentone ‘Noa Blanc de Blancs’ Sparkling Wine (OB, 93) shows amazing salty character with really good stuffing. Learn more about these beautiful wines at elentone.com and here are the outstanding new wines by Elentone.

2019 Elentone ‘Brut’ Sparkling Wine- The 2019 ‘Brut’ is mostly Chardonnay coming from the Lake Chelan AVA. It was given zero dosage. You would not guess that based on the wine’s richness and texture. Baking spice laced pastry crust flavors mingle well with cashew nut and salty citrus fruits on the palate. Very refined, as this sat en tirage for three years, this is really at a good spot right now. Drink 2023-2031- 93

2020 Elentone ‘Willow Blanc de Noirs’ Sparkling Wine- A very pretty slightly pink hue, the 2020 Blanc de Noirs Sparkling Wine is brimming with richness from what was a really good vintage prior to the smoke event in September. This was picked before the smoke event and is a truly outstanding showing by winemaker Chris Sherry. Delicate red raspberry and teaberry notes combine with orange zest notes on the palate. Big, fleshy and rich, this is already drinking beautifully right now. Drink 2023-2031- 92
